@ Semerone

'' Differences? I... I thought, we were having a constructive and friendly discussion and not any differences! This is not a battle who is right or wrong, but us figuring out the correct translation/transliteration for "Gaihoumen's name". ^^'''

Indeed, it is a constructive and friendly discussion. I politely said I'd want to check with you guys first before voicing my concern, right? :)

......... I mentioned the word 'differences' after when one of your teammates, who wrote the past few versions of this article, deliberately asserted that "Gehoumen" was a spelling mistake from a 'foreign translation', which is mine.

While you guys didn't mention name, my gallery is the only one that took "Gehoumen" into consideration before you guys started writing yours. Therefore, it was frankly an indirect insult which I couldn't take lightly.

'' Goki and myself already translated the Chapter titles from volume 1 of the Chinese manga, but we didn't translate the Chapter titles from the Japanese version, yet, as we didn't have any time to do so. (with me being sick and Goki being tired from traveling here)''

The Japanese index wasn't that difficult to check n compare w the Chinese one. You haven't even got to that part of the original Manga, but your teammate already jumped the gun n stated that my "Gehoumen" was a MIStranslation.

It wasn't nice, to be honest.

And I felt terribly hurt to learn that my friends didn't really trust me despite what they said..... :'|

While I'm willing to promote your gallery to my friends & our fans, mistake like this may cause a detrimental effect to not only our individual gallery but also our friendship.

But now, I must admit I'm happy to see that you managed to correct the mistake.

On a much lighter note, I'd like to remind everyone that I'm being neither too-strict nor nitpicky. I only want to make myself clear, and let you know how I feel about the situation so that we can improve it together, from today onwards.

Friends should be honest w one another, right? :)  **BEARhugs**

About "Kamen / Men"

仮面 means 'provisional mask' n the Kanji 面 literally means 'mask'. I don't usually rely on Japanese syllabaries while translating even though they're strictly necessary when it comes to the characters' real names. :)

About 災蛾根源

I can see everyone is still using the Chinese Manga as base n I'd like to know why.

I thought we had come to an agreement that a second-hand (Japanese-Chinese-English) translation would be aboslutely no good. **facepalms**

There is no 災蛾根源 in the original Manga, and it is by no means the name of the creature. You can find the moth introduce itself after it attacked both Chiaki & Jukai, as "Ceremonial Demon - Gaki, a.k.a the Moth Demon".

@ Zenki

Hahaa... that's fine. Mistake + Correction = Learning.

There's a potential for growth in every mistake. **pats**

Thank you, too, for the credits. ;)

@ Goki

 The more I check out the anime episodes, the more I notice, that you, Miss Azure, were absolutely correct about the messed up dialogues present in it, though the most amusing error still has to be the "Chiaki Ozune" line, that Semerone and I found back when we worked on the article of Episode 27.

That's fine with me. There are many things my friends still don't know or ain't sure about, so there's always room for improvement. :)

'' Amusingly, the English sub/dub mangled Buidou's name into Veedoo, though Guren clearly says "Hyouijuu Buidou!" in the Japanese audio track of the anime. ^^'''

Yes! It was probably b/c they believed "bui" is pronouced similarly to "vee" while "dou" (an extention of "do") is to "doo" in English. Consequentially, we got "Veedoo" instead of "Buidou". :D

Well, I hope we'll be able to voice our constructive criticism in a peaceful manner, to have things sufficiently fleshed out and/or cleared up any potential misunderstanding, instead of always forming speculations/judgements that are way off-base.

Take good care of yourself, everyone, especially Semerone. **hugs**
